THE WAGES OF SIN.
A Mother, Though Poor, Refuses the
Earnings OF . Daughters Crime.

There is an old house on the west side
of Eighth street, Just below Pine, says
the st. Louis Globe. Democrat, that stands
back in recess, as though trying to
avoid tho attention OF passers by. Ladies
who know anything at all about ii usually
pass on the'other side of the street and
avert their eyes from the lace curtain
windows, where, at times, n number of
young women, with bleached hair and
suspiciously ruddy cheeks, were seen
dressed in gaudy gowns, looking out at
the passers by. THIS was the abode. for
more than fifteen years, Of the notorious
Kate Morris, who died a few days ago.
Yesterday tho auotiOneer's red flag was
raised at the doorway, and through the
halls and chambers motley crew
tramped in and out, while the auction
eer's voice called out in n monOtonous,
mechanical strain the bids that were
made. More than o-half OF his audi
ence was composed of colored people
who lived in the neighborhood, or who
had been commission by their mlstressos

the various articles of furniture and
clothing were brought underneath the
hammer. In the back parlor were fully
a dozen milliners' boxes containing bon
nets, pink and white and dark hued
things, none of which seemed ever to
have been worn. The reporter remem.
bered one as having been seen on Kate
Morris one night when she came to the
Four Court, her white hands sparkling
with diamonds, and bailed out one Of her
companions. There were strings, too,
of house robes, of silk and soft stutfs.

attuned his eloquence to his
audience, and addressed them IN ia
miliar slang rs he whined their praise.
Hold that dress up. Jack" Look at 1t

Morris left little or nothing besides her
household and personal effects She had
been ill for over year and had spent
most of her ill-gotten money. She came
originally from Ner York state, where
her mother still resides, and to whom the
body was sent for interment. 1t is said
she is poor but has refused to touch .

is, however, bright side to this dark
picture, and though Collyer seems to be
in the center of the drouthy section just

SPECIAL Thursday morning, ~. Hard
storm here at $50 P. M. yesterday. Very
black clouds burst with severe northwest
wind and good rain. Ground wet about
three-fourths of an inch deep. Damage
in town: Phillips e Smiths livery barn,
almost completed, blown over and demol-
ished; A. G. Lords carpenter shop turned
upon its roof and slightly broken. No
reports from the country yet. The rain
will save most OF the crops. W.. q.
